Luyện nghe bài hát Ubaba Akalele

Ubaba akalele (my is not at peace)

Ngahlangana kasibiya izolo
(I met up sibiya yesterday)
Wathi "we-jonathan, kahle mina
(he said, "jonathan, I am in a bad way)
Ngiphupha ongasekho ekhomba inkomo yakhe
(I dream of my late father at his ox)
Ngikhumbula ethi "wemfana wami
(and I remember him me -- "my boy
Uma kulomhlaba wemfana wami
(on the day I away and leave this earth)
Musa ukungifihla (x3)
(do not me in a coffin)
Wemfana
(my boy)
Awungebesa ngesikhumba senkomo emhlophe, wami
(you should bury me wrapped in the skin of a ox, my boy)
ngenkomo emhlophe
(you send me on my last journey by means of a white ox)
Inkomo, kababa, wo-ye-ye-ye!
(the ox, the ox of my father....)

Akalele ekhaya
(father is not at at home)
Akafuni ibokisi, ufuna
(he does not want a coffin, he an ox)
Akalele ubaba
(father is not at home)
Washo wathi "jonathan lalela lana
(sibiya continued saying, "jonathan, here.)
Ngokushona kababa isimanga
(on the day my father died a most thing happened)
Abantu bomndeni bayamdumisa
(our family thought they would give hima sendoff)
ngebokisi engalifuni
(and they buried him in a coffin, knowing he did not this)
Saxabana sodwa bomndeni (x2)
(we fought ourselves, we the members of the family)
Saxabana ngoba ngathi bayasithela ngebadi
(we argued because I said they had done which would bring great
Misfortune)
Benkunzima sifihla ubaba
(it was the day we buried my father)
ngelelolanga
(it was that day)

Ubaba ekhaya, ugudla isibaya
(father is not at ease at home, his spirit wanders the cattle
Enclosure)
lakhe selimbophile
(it imprisoned by the coffin)
Ufuna isikhumba senkomo (x2)
(his spirit wants to be accompanied by his ox)
